Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3761: Visiting the City Lord's Estate

Chapter 3761: Visiting the City Lord’s Estate

Gazing at the screen of light that flickered violently in the air, an uproar erupted among the immortals that remained in the inner city of the Immortal Rising City.

Many of them had already stayed in the Immortal Rising City for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years. Across all this time, this was the first time they had seen the city under attack.

However, fear that virtually engulfed the entire inner city followed. Many of the cultivators that did not possess powerful backgrounds but were rooted in the city were overcome with worry and hints of despair.

The Immortal Rising City was very powerful, but there were two Immortal Exalts attacking them after all.

The arrival of the two Immortal Exalts had forced the Immortal Rising City to activate their protective formation in defence, which left many people worried about the fate awaiting them if the protective formation was destroyed.

On the highest floor of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, elder Ling stood with his hands by his side. He stood on the wide balcony and looked at what was happening in the air. He was slightly stern.

Apart from elder Ling, there were two other old men to his left and right. They also gave off the presence of Immortal Emperors.

The three Immortal Emperors served as the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance’s most powerful force on the Hall Brilliance Heaven.

Behind the three of them was the head manager of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, w.a.n.g Miaomiao!

At this moment, w.a.n.g Miaomiao stood behind the three Immortal Emperors courteously and remained quiet.

“Sigh, I never imagined that a page of the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture would actually throw the Immortal Rising City renowned across the Hall Brilliance Heaven into a state like this. This truly is unexpected.” The old man standing to the left of elder Ling let out a gentle sigh. He was speechless.

The old man’s surname was Zhou. Very few people in the branch of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance on the Hall Brilliance Heaven knew his true name. The high-ranking members all referred to him as elder Zhou.

As for the old man to the right of elder Ling, people called him elder w.a.n.g. He also happened to be the head manager’s great-grandfather.

“The city lord of the Immortal Rising City, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu, developed an irreconcilable grudge with the Void-perceiving Ancestor of the Void-perceiving sect many years ago. However, their strength was approximately equal, so neither of them could do anything about the other. This was why both the Immortal Rising City and the Void-perceiving sect coexisted peacefully over the years. But now, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu has obtained a page of the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture. The appearance of the page has made it extremely likely for Immortal Exalt Tan Yu to reach the Third Heavenly Layer, so the ancestor of the Void-perceiving sect must obviously stop him. Otherwise, once Immortal Exalt Tan Yu breaks through successfully while the ancestor of the Void-perceiving sect remains stagnant, then the Void-perceiving sect will face doom,” elder Ling said slowly. Among the three senior members of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance, elder w.a.n.g and elder Zhou spent most of their time in secluded cultivation. They basically never emerged unless something major occurred. Elder Ling would remain in charge of some miscellaneous affairs, so the information he possessed was relatively more complete.

“Elder Ling, in your opinion, do you think the city lord of the Immortal Rising City can survive this?” elder Zhou asked.

Elder Ling squinted his eyes and deliberated. “In my opinion, Immortal Exalt Tan Yu basically cannot survive this with his strength unless he abandons the city or gives up on the page of the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture.”

Reaching there, elder Ling suddenly smiled deeply and said, “Let’s go and pay a visit to the city lord’s estate. Let’s see if Immortal Exalt Tan Yu is willing to do business with our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance.”

Elder Zhou and elder w.a.n.g knew what elder Ling was referring to. They could not help but shake their heads. “Given the current situation, I’m afraid that Immortal Exalt Tan Yu doesn’t have enough leverage to do business with us.”

Although they said that, the three senior members of the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance still chose to leave the sixth floor of the tower, flying towards the city lord’s estate at a steady pace.

In the air, rumbles rang out constantly. The three-legged cauldron that spanned three thousand metres across constantly slammed against the Immortal Rising City’s protective formation under the Void-perceiving Ancestor’s control.

The Wukun Master struck as well. He drew a high quality G.o.d artifact sword, which erupted with blinding light. He attacked the formation below with the Void-perceiving Ancestor.

Under the combined attacks of the two Immortal Exalts, the protective formation of the Immortal Rising City shook violently. The formation flickered violently; its energy was being depleted at a terrifying rate.

“Master, a-are we going to die here?”

Jing Mumu had paled in fright in the serene courtyard. She gripped Jian Chen’s sleeve firmly. She was nervous.

Jing Feng on the side did not say anything, but he was also worried.

Jing Feng knew that Jian Chen was very powerful. He could kill Immortal Emperors effortlessly, but they faced more than one Immortal Exalt currently.

As a result, Jing Feng was not particularly confident either. He did not know whether they could safely weather the storm once the formation broke.

“Don’t worry. This is just a small spectacle, nowhere near enough to threaten us. Even if the formation falls, we’ll be safe and sound.” Jian Chen smiled, giving the two of them some confidence.

“Senior, don’t tell me you’re an Immortal Exalt as well?” Jing Feng’s heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but ask. His elderly eyes burned with interest.

Jing Mumu’s eyes lit up as well. She did not really have a concept of Immortal Exalts, but she had truly experienced the strength and terror of them now. That terrifying sight of being able to destroy worlds had left a permanent mark on her young heart.

Jian Chen shook his head and said, “There’s still a sizeable distance between me and Immortal Exalt. I’m only an Immortal Emperor right now.”

Reaching there, Jian Chen paused slightly and said, “Stay here and go nowhere. I’m going to pay a visit to the city lord’s estate.” Jian Chen turned around and left the courtyard, making his way to the city lord’s estate steadily by foot like a mortal.

In his head, he could not help but think of the information regarding the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture. The information all came from the Merchant Union of Star Brilliance.

The Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture had been left behind by a supreme expert renowned through the Immortals’ World three million years ago, the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable.

The Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable was an expert of the Way of the Sword who had reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt. He stood at the apex of the world, and his name had been spread far and wide.

However, during the war with the Saints’ World three million years ago, the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable suffered horrific injuries beyond saving. In the end, he perished several tens of thousand years after returning to the Immortals’ World.

The Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable spent his life alone, roaming the Immortals’ World without any sect, clan, or successor.

As a result, during the waning years of his life, he spent ten thousand years pouring his heart into the construction of a miniature world, leaving his life’s fortune in there.

Not only did the miniature world contain all the resources that the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable had left behind towards the end of his life, but it also contained the various legacies that he had collected through his life. These legacies were enough to tempt many peak organisations in the Immortals’ World.

Of course, that was not even the most important part. The most precious part was towards the end of his life, the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable used his innate talent to burn his soul, forcefully stripping himself of part of his comprehension of the Laws of the Sword and turning them into nine seeds of ways.

The nine seeds of ways contained extremely pure comprehension of the Ways of the Sword. They were on such a high level that they could even benefit Immortal Exalts.

During the three million years since the Skysc.r.a.ping Immortal Exalt’s death, the miniature world he left behind had been opened numerous times. Over half of the nine seeds of ways that he left behind had been taken as well. Each seed of ways had been used on an early Immortal Exalt.

In the end, the six seeds of ways allowed a total of four First and Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts to break through.

The two remaining Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts did not break through, but they benefitted tremendously from it.

Only three of the nine seeds of ways remained.

Meanwhile, the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture was the only key to this miniature world!

There were a total of a hundred and eight pages to the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture. Only by a.s.sembling all of the pages could the entrance be opened.

Each page could bring three people inside.

That was everything that Jian Chen knew about the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture.

“The Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Scripture in the city lord of the Immortal Rising City’s possession should also be a page. I wonder if he has any spare spots,” Jian Chen thought. He was not interested in the resources and wealth left behind by the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable. After all, the miniature world had already been opened six times. Even without thinking about it, he knew that many of the resources had been taken away already.

The only thing he was interested in was the seeds of ways left behind by the Skysc.r.a.ping Sword Venerable.
